So this is a new continuing story. Rules are set as mentioned in the Rules thread. Two weeks of an incredible epic story which wil hopefully blow your minds. This story takes place in North Korea, the year is 2139.

****************************************

He finally stood atop the tallest mountain in the world. He could see far in all directions and he felt incredibly powerful. At last the world was his; but it hadnt been an easy journey.

Three years earlier - Najin, North Korea

A dark figure exits a small fishing trawl in the middle of the night and heads towards a building on the eastern coast of Najin. The man is tall and thin with a long black coat and hat. He walks cautiously, looking around every corner before going on. He's been waiting to finally be here and to be caught now would be disastrous. The information he carried could...

. . . could change the way the world saw Korea forever. After all, he was the only living man who knew the secret of exactly why Jaemin gave up on Inyoung, after all . . . no one else, in three years, had been able to figure out how such a doofus as Kijoon had managed to win back the woman who had been so dreadfully disappointed by love and woefully mistreated by the Evil Mother-in-Law, to the point that she was no longer even able to walk at a normal speed . . . how could this have been allowed to pass?? But at last, one man knew - and in his briefcase he held the synopsis of the story that, if it were published, would change the face of drama - and of Korea itself - forever . . .

(***Disclaimer***Ok so I am continuing the story at Vic's request...hope she feels better by this! I'm a little rusty so please forgive me if I rant...***)

The man slowly walks down the mountain thinking about how important the document he holds will be to so many. He is lost in his thoughts that he does not notice the man running toward him. The man bumps into him and the two fall to the floor. The man stares up in fright as the briefcase flies up in the air and crashes down to the grown. Papers fly everywhere and the man scrambles to pick up the mess of papers. The man that bumped into him slowly sits up rubbing his forehead. He sees the man frantically collecting his papers and proceeds to help. "Oh I am sooooo sorry!" He says. The man looks at him frustrated. "What do you think you were doing!" he yells at him. The man looks at him and tells him "I was running away from commitment! That damn marriage is always trying to get me! Hi, my name is Manny!" Manny puts his hand out to the man and smiles his sheepish grin. The man just looked at him and continued to collect his papers. Manny also collected some papers that belonged to him. The man stuffed the papers into his briefcase and stormed off. Manny just stood there confused. He thought "Well he could have been a little nicer I DID say I was sorry! SHEESH! Oh well I gotta get this paper to Greg. " And off he went running again. As fast as Manny ran no one or NOTHING would ever catch him.

Manny reached his destination. He looked down at a piece of paper with an address crudely scribbled on it. "Well this is the address BUT Greg said this was his College Campus??" The sign read "Hospital for the Criminally Insane" Manny scratched his head as he saw people in straight jackets walking behind the iron gates talking to themselves. "Uh, I must have the wrong place!" He thought. Just as he turned to walk away he hears "Manny! Manny! Manny!" He sees a young man running toward him waving. "Hey Manny!" says the young man standing behind the iron gates. Manny just blinked at him "Uh. and you are?" he asks the man. "It's ME Greg! Don't you recognize me??" Greg asks Manny. Manny replies "Uh not really since we've NEVER seen you. Oh so THAT's what you look like!" Greg smiles at him. "So did you bring my paper? Maybe NOW I'll finally graduate." Manny pulled out a rolled up bunch of papers from under his jacket and handed them to Greg through the bars. "Uh, Yeah I got it right here Greg but...um are you sure this is a College? I mean those people over there..." He pointed at some guys banging there heads on the wall and talking to themselves. Just then someone ran by screaming. Manny just stood confused. Greg looked over at the people "Oh them! They're OK! They're just studying for finals! Why don't you come on in!" Manny stood there for a minute looking at the guys banging there heads and the other one running around frantically screaming. He thought about leaving but he had a deal with Greg. "Ok Greg for you I'll come in!" He tried pushing open the iron gates but they were chained shut. Greg stopped Manny. Greg looked around worried "Shhhhh...the dogs will come if you try to open the gate!" Manny looked scared "DOGS!?" Greg waved Manny closer and whispered "I've got a SPECIAL Entrance." Manny followed Greg from the outside till he reached a big tree. "Climb up that and then jump over!" Greg told Manny. "Climb up what and then do what!!" Manny said. "Come on, I'll catch you!" Greg said. Manny was seriously thinking about going home but he remembered the deal. "Alright!" He climbed up the tree and stood at the top branch ala Crouching Tiger and Jumped down. Landing on his feet. Greg clapped "Wow, that was so KEWL!" he said. "Well I am Mr. Miagi after all!" Manny joked. They both went to Greg's "Dorm Room"... Manny kept looking around going "Greg You SURE, this is a College!" Greg just smiled "Well of course Manny what else could it be!" Manny just patted Greg on the back "Right Greg" And they reached the "dorm room". Greg layed out the paper on the table and proceeded to read it. Manny sat on the bed that had restraints on it. Manny shook his head. "Ok Greg I did my part now it is your turn. I wrote your ahem class paper so that you can finally Graduate and you pay me so that I can take Martial Arts classes." Greg finished reading "Wow Manny this is GREAT but I am shocked that the report you wrote for me on Kdramas DIDN'T end with KiJoon and Inyoung ending up together." Manny stood up. "WHAT! What are you talking about!" He snatched the paper from Greg's hands and read it "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Manny yelled. Just then someone knocked on the door "Greg! No yelling! Do I have to sedate you again!" The voice yelled at Greg from behind the door. "Uh n-n-n-no! I'll be quiet!" He put his hand over Manny's mouth and sat him down. "Shhhhh...uh the professors..uh...yeah the professors don't like people yelling!" Manny shock his head. "But what the hell happened here!" he said. Then he remembered the incident with the man on the mountain. He stood up. "I gotta get out of here!" Manny said. "yeah I've been saying that forever too!" Greg said. Manny just looked at Greg and blinked. "Yeah but I don't belong here you nut!" Manny said. "But how are you going to get out?" Greg asked. Manny yanked him by the collar. "What do YOU mean HOW? You mean to tell me you told me to come in here but you can't get me out!" Manny yealled at him. "Well, technically you ONLY asked about getting in!" Greg grinned. Manny made a fist ready to punch Greg in the face but being peace loving Manny, Manny, Manny he gave up the idea and let Greg go. He sat with his head in his hands. Greg sat down next to Manny. He put his hand on his shoulder and tried comforting him "Hey, look at the bright side, tonights PUDDING night!" Manny blinked at him "You are SOOOOOO lucky that I am Peace-loving!!" Just then Manny thought of something. He pulled out his cell-phone and called "If anyone would know how to get me out of here she would..I mean she solves problems for a living!" ..just then there was an answer on the line "I.T.S.-Help Desk, Marlene speaking, how can I help you?" ..."Marlene, this is Manny, I need your help!" Manny told her. "Hey Manny-Man, what's up!" Marlene said. "I'm stuck in Greg's..ahem.."College" and I can't get out? I'm locked in behind an iron gate! And there are DOGS!" Marlene yelled out "Well who told you to visit Greg, I could've told ya that, that would cause nufin but trouble!" Manny sighed "I know but can you help..." Marlene thought..."Well this is a Computer Help Desk and I can't give you lock-picking tips over the phone...Give me the address I'll go down there and come up with somefin" Manny gave out a sigh of relief "Good ok..here it is...." He told her the address and she jotted it down on there LCH notepad. That Kathy-D gave her in exchange for a BYJ back-scratcher. "Ok Manny, I'll go after I get off of work. Hold tight till then and don't let Greg influence you, he's NUTS!" Marlene told him. "More than you know!" Manny told her. "thanks I'll see you later" He hanged up. Greg just sat grinning at Manny with his arm around his shoulder. Manny scooted away.

A little while later Marlene showed up with Laurie at her side. "Uh, Marlene are you sure this is the right place?" Laurie said. Marlene looked up at the name of the place. "Uhhhhh-huh I KNEW that damn Greg was mental! No wonder he ain't graduate yet! He's in a loonie-bin! College my big PR ass!" Marlene said. Laurie pulled on the gate. "So now what?" Marlene looked at the lock. "Hmmm this is an oldie...damn I don't think I have the right tools for it either. That's the last time I lend Miriam my tools. I let her borrow them to get out of a pair of her S&M handcuffs and she never gave my tools back...SHEESH!" Marlene sighed. "Was that when she was trying to unboring her husband?" Laurie asked. "Yeah!" Marlene replied "Hey Laurie what is this button for? She pointed at a button by the gate. Laurie looked "It looks like an itercom but I don't think you should mess with it!" Before Laurie could finish her sentence Marlene pushed it in "HEY YOU CRAZY PEOPLE IN THERE GIVE US BACK OUR MANNY! YOU CAN KEEP GREG BUT GIVE US BACK OUR MANNY!" Laurie grabbed her and covered her mouth "Girl you are going to get us killed on of these days!" Just then they heard a buzz the lock opened and the gate swung open. The 2 girls looked at each other. "Should we go in there?" Laurie asked. "Yeah!" Marlene said and she started in. Laurie stood and grabbed her. "But what if we get stuck?" Laurie said. "Laurie, we gotta get Manny, God knows what kind of torture Greg is putting him through! He may be talking to him about sports for GOD'S SAKE!" Marlene said. Laurie Gasped. "yeah but..." Marlene thought of a way to get Laurie to go in. "Hey Laurie, doesn't thins place remind you of something out of Harry Potter?" Marlene asked slyly. Laurie looked up quickly "HARRY POTTER! I'm there! Let's go!" She walked in past Marlene "I can't believe that worked!" Marlene thought to herself. They walked in dodging loonies as the entered a building that looked alot like an old library or school. As they stepped inside they were greeted by... "MOBY! What are you doing here?" Marlene said. Moby looked at her "NO I'm not Moby see my tee shirt says so!" He pointed at the tee shirt. "I'm Rucas, I mean Lucas. And I am here to take you to the director." Marlene and Laurie just looked at each other. "ok then Lucas lead the way!" said Laurie. They walked scary solemn corridors. The silent broken every so often by blood curdling screams. "Um Lucas, what is that?" Laurie asked Lucas explained "Well sometimes the patients get out of line and we have to uh..discipline..them." Marlene asked "Discipline, what kind of discipline?" "Oh we play tapes of EMIL screeching or show continued images of KiJoon's big head on the screen. He said. Laurie Gasped. "No wonder they scream like that!" Marlene whispered to Laurie. Just then they reached a door. Lucas opened the door and they walked inside a lovely office. It was a complete changed from the cold environment they had just been in. With its grey marble floors and starch white walls. This room was decorated with beautiful flowers and purple decor. A big wood desk stood in front of them. Behind it sat the director facing the window. But all the girls could see was the back of a big leather chair. "Director, the guest are here" Lucas said. Just then the chair spun around and it was Theresa sitting there! Marlene and Laurie stood with their mouths open. "T!!!" Laurie said. "Senpai!" Marlene yelled. "Hi Girls!" Theresa said as she sat with her arms crossed on the table in front of her. "Sit ladies" Marlene and Lauried looked at each other then sat down. "Lucas, bring us some tea, please. "Theresa ordered Lucas. Marlene spoke up "uh...no tea for me, Pepsi please." Theresa smiled "Oh that's right Marlene HATES tea!" Lucas went to get the drinks. "So, what brings you ladies around these parts?" Laurie told Theresa "Well Manny came here to see Greg and got caught inside..." Before Laurie could finish Marlene stopped her "Hoooooollld up! What are YOU doing here Senpai??" Marlene asked. "Well I did tell you guys I got a new job!" Theresa told them. "So T how do we get Manny?" Theresa stood up. "Oh so you said he was with Greg. I'll take you to his room. Then we can come back and have Tea and Pepsi." she patted Marlene on the head. Marlene smiled contently. Like a lil puppy. They began to walk down the long corridors and spoke as they walked. They were interupted briefly by a guy walking down the hall. Theresa showed him to the girls. "Girls do you recognize this guy?" The girls looked at each other and shrugged. "This is Will!" She said. "Hey Will we haven't seed you in a while!" Laurie said. "Will was in solitary confinement for a while but he learned his lesson and now he's back" Theresa explained. Will waved happily and continued on his way. The women contiuned to walk and talk. "So T how did you get this job? I mean these people...you know..." Laurie said. "Well it's actually kind of funny because I put a link to the group on my resume...you know I always tell you guys advertise, advertise, advertise....so they looked at the sight and said if I can control that crazy lot I should be able to handle these guys...and besides I am doing a thesis on Kdrama fans and their strange rituals...I mean come on people getting together at least once or twice a year to discuss a topic they discuss to death on a daily basis how ridiculous is that...UH I mean I'm doing a report on our Warm Fuzzy group..yeah that's it...I OVE you!" Marlene and Laurie looked at each other. Marlene asked T "Hey T? So what's the deal with Greg being in this place?" Theresa laughed "Ah Greg, He has been one of our longest patience. He thinks this is a college campus and he is going to graduate one day. *SIGH* but no matter how much I try to get through to him he is always defiant. No matter how much I tell him to try and get him better he keeps thinking I am lying to him. Poor, Greg and his dillusions of grandeur!" "Ahhh explains alot!" The 2 girls chimed in. They finally reached their destination. They opened the door to find wearing a helmet going on about Nascar and basketball. Manny was passed out on the bed snoring. Laurie grabbed Manny by the shoulders and shock him. "Manny wake up!" Manny was so happy to see everyone. They began to leave as Greg followed. Theresa stopped him. "Uh Greg, you can't go till you finish you homework" Marlene yelled at him "Yeah at this rate you'll NEVER ahem graduate..so start listening to Theresa she IS trying to help!" Greg snarled at her "Ahhhh Marlene SHADUP, and be a pawn like all of you NEVER!" He smiled at himself proudly. Everyone sighed "He's never getting out of here!" they all said as T closed his door. They began to walk out side. T stopped "one question guys...why was Manny sneaking in here in the first place." Manny explained to all of them the situation. They all suddenly realized something that the man had the ending to MSMD that Manny wrote which only 1 in 10 Kdrama fans will like. They MUST change it to the original. They had to get the original ending back to the man before the final eps aired! As they all left Theresa was stopped at the door. "This is Fab-Shelly here, reporting from the Hospital for the criminally insane where rumor has it that KDRAMAs are being used to torture or shall I say discipline their patients! I have here the director..what do you have to say about this?" Shelly shoved a microphone in Theresa's face and a video camera guy stood filming. Theresa told her "That is for lack of a better word CRAZY...this place is warm and fuzzy!" She gave Lucas a glance from across the courtyard. Lucas nodded and went into the building. While T kept Shelly busy. Manny, Marlene & Laurie left promising to keep T informed. They were off to try to get the oringinal ending to MSMD back.........

"Uhhhh...what the heck was that, some kind of bad dream?" Manny said to himself as he stumbled out of bed. "Man, I gotta lay off that soju...better stop or I'll start having nightmares again...."

It was only six in the morning; too early to get up, he thought....Just then, the door bell rang. Manny shook his head. "Who could that be this morning? Why would anyone want to bother me at this hour?"

Manny opened the door only to confront a tall, hooded figure standing outside...

. . . who held out a package in his withered hands. Manny took the package but before he could speak the eerie visitor had vanished. After closing, and locking to be sure, the front door Manny opened the small package to discover a videotape; no label or identifying marks of any kind. Being the usually inquisitive sort, Manny popped the tape into his VCR and before his eyes he was amazed to see on the screen . . .
